When parents send young children to their first school, they are looking for an institution that will provide reliable communication in the event of an unexpected situation. This could be something as simple as a scheduling change due to inclement weather or as serious as a head lice outbreak. If preschool and other educators wish to quickly contact the parents of every student, they can employ the benefits of automated calling through voice broadcasting provider One Call Now.

For example, the Barnert Temple Preschool in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, needed a quality communication system to save time and effort in reaching out to the parents of enrolled students. Rather than having staff call each person individually, the school utilizes automated calling technology from One Call Now to broadcast important messages.

"This winter's epidemic of lice was managed successfully due to our use of One Call Now's automated call system," wrote temple administrator Alice K. in a testimonial. "We soon discovered our E-mail messages to the Preschool parents weren't doing it - they weren't able to convey the personal attention that is a hallmark of our Preschool. That was when we hit upon a plan - our Preschool Director would use One Call Now to record messages describing how we were responding to the epidemic. The automated phone messages enabled us to calm parents' fears, lessen their anxiety, and reassure them that the Preschool Director was indeed in control of the situation."

By employing the help of One Call Now, schools across the United States can enjoy the same reliable voice broadcasting as the Barnert Temple. Voice or text messages can be personalized to include a familiar speaker whose voice could be much more calming to parents than a preset, artificially-sounding tone.
